Italian Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding civil liability for medical malpractice involving a specific surgical error.

The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal against a lower court ruling that found the defendant liable for medical negligence. The plaintiff alleged a surgical error caused by the defendant's failure to follow standard protocols, while the defendant argued the procedure was performed according to accepted medical standards. The court upheld the liability finding, emphasizing that the deviation from established medical practice constituted a breach of the duty of care owed to the patient.
